    Both A340s of German Air Force (Rego 16+1 & 16+2) have their centre gear but they don't use centre gear with weight restriction : https://www.planespotters.net/Aviati...hp?reg=16%2B02

    For ferry flights, the center landing gear can be stowed.
    Very true. please see the pictures which shows A340 when using/not using the centre gear.

    This flight was actually a test fight for the Trent 900

      BTW its written Federal republic of Germany and not anything about German air force.
      Thanks bro. German Gov's A340s have their registrations as 16+01 & 16+02. Any idea what does this 16 means in their German Aircraft registration?

      Just a moment...

        I just remembered the livery after playing FSX

          Even 4R-ADC or ADB wasn't using it's centre landing gear when it was painted in white and did test flights.

                Is it a charter? But I can't see PK-GPD operated CMB in FR24.

                        Two Garuda A333s in Colombo in one day
                        GIA6810 - PK-GPG
                        GIA4211 - PK-GPC

                        What's going on? Is it for Hajj?

                          I guess these aircrafts are Quit old May be the need to re fuel or a technical stop

                            Old ? Doubt it

                            Maybe uplifting at max weight.

                              GA do have new A333s but they are currently using 18+ years old A333 on their Hajj and Domestic flights. I am quite surprised GA didn't wet-lease any aircraft from other airline operators for Hajj. Last time they wet-leased some A330s from Air Transat etc..

                              May be GA transporting Lankan muslims between CMB and Medinah. Today couple of GA A333s due at CMB.
